    The Greatest Fear of Those Who Rule Us0

    Rush Limbaugh passed away on Ash Wednesday at age 70. I heard that news on the radio after leaving noon services at my church. At first, I felt a profound sadness and a touch of anger.

    Looking Forward as the West Declines0

    Germany’s defeat in World War II was accelerated by Hitler’s unwillingness to accept reports at odds with his increasingly fantastical view of reality.
